100%. I just bought a Pixel 8 so I could install Graphene OS. It was so damn easy too. I was amazed. This phone is great minus the lack of headphone jack and SD card slot.

Been using their phones since the Nexus 6. That thing was huge.

And I'm the one guy that uses Google Fi. My bill was $38 last month.

My bill was $38 last month.

Did you mean that this was a lot or dirt cheap? Sounds quite expensive to me.

Genuinely curious, what service are you comparing this to that makes it sound quite expensive? Asking for my wallet

A very basic phone plan from one of the top three ISPs where I live (Taiwan). Comes with 3 GB of data a month. (I'm on Wi-Fi most of the time.) Costs ~$6.1 a month. No 5G connection, only 4G. ~22 cents per minute of calltime.

$38 usd is considered low in the US because even though we all have a high median income the cost of everything is extraordinarily high, rendering most americans de facto impoverished
